CLdN Cargo announces new rail connection in Italy

The Luxemburg-based door-to-door logistics provider, CLdN Cargo has announced the launch of its own Italian rail connection, which will start on 14 February.

CLdN Cargo aims to to play a role in the decarbonisation of freight transport with its new intermodal rail connection between Rotterdam and Montirone, Italy, a service that will initially operate three times a week, connecting CLdN’s own Rotterdam ro-ro terminal with the Magli Intermodal Service (MIS) Terminal in Montirone, 13 kilometres south of Brescia, Italy.

“We are very proud to have CLdN Cargo as one of the first clients of the MIS Terminal in Montirone. For us it proves that the €20 million investment in the terminal pays off,” said a representative of MIS.

With this new product, CLdN Cargo aims to expand its activities in Italy, where it has been active for more than five years, providing intermodal transport services to Northern Europe with their own fleet of 5,500 trailer and container units.

The new intermodal connection will move CLdN Cargo’s own trailer and container equipment combined with other types of equipment sourced by CLdN’s forwarding division.

“It has been on our wish list for a long time to have a rail connection to Italy under our own control,” pointed out a representative of CLdN Cargo.

This next step follows the December announcement when CLdN Cargo appointed an exclusive commercial agent to increase their presence in the Italian market.

“Securing rail capacity is vital in this market with the increasing Italian volumes as well as the upcoming mobility package which will only boost unaccompanied rail and ro-ro traffic,” noted a spokesperson of CLdN Cargo.
